Week 21 Songs and Poems:
Mary Mary Quite Contrary
Mary Mary
quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells
and cockle shells
And pretty maids
all in a row.
Planting Time
(From: 1001 Rhymes and Fingerplays by Totline)
(Tune: 'Row Your Boat')
Dig, dig, in the ground. (Make digging movements.)
Plant seeds in a row. (Pretend to plant seeds.)
A gentle rain (Flutter fingers downward.)
And bright sunshine (Form a circle with your arms.)
Will help your flowers grow! (Squat down and gradually stand up.)
I'm a Little Sunflower
(Tune: 'I'm a Little Teapot')
I'm a little sunflower.
I'm so small.
(Sit on the ground.)
Soil.
(Place hands on the ground next to you.)
Sun.
(Place arms above head in the shape of a circle.)
And water make me tall.
(Flutter fingers and move hands downward to the ground.)
When I get all grown up,
(Sit up on knees.)
You will see.
(Stand with arms bent and touching waist.)
That I'm as big as I can be!
(Stand with arms raised high in the air.)
Read Your Bible
Read your Bible and pray every day.
Pray every day. Pray every day.
Read your Bible and pray every day.
And you'll grow, grow, grow!
Don't read your Bible and forget to pray.
Forget to pray. Forget to pray.
Don't read your Bible and forget to pray.
And you'll shrink, shrink, shrink!
